This is the quintessential book on floating and the uses of the floatation tank. Hutchison has done extensive research, and he summarises the information on floating as an aid to health and relaxation, as used for visualisation in various professions including law, the arts, and professional sports, as used to break addictions, and so on. A new chapter for this edition tells the author's own story of a miraculous recovery from complete paralysis through his own application of the principles of floating, meditation, and concentration of will.
Reviews
"Two decades (after the first edition), Hutchison's work is still relevant in his explanations of how flotation works... (his) story gives incentive to new recruits as well as lapsed floaters to get into the tank and go with the flow..." -- Nexus, August 2004.
